California Delta is only an hour and a half away…

…and it is amazing. While fishing with my Dad today, I came to realize how lucky the Bay Arians are to live so close to such a great fishery.

My Dad and I ran a weekend trip at the Delta this weekend. Stayed in one of the RV’s at Sugar Barge.Very nice to wake up 100 yards from the water.

One thing that is great about using reaction baits for stripers is that you can catch largemouth too. This 6 pound 11 oz fish popped my Lucky Craft 128 Jerk Bait in Franks Tract.

This was a pretty large shad still in her belly. I think it was a shad. It must have been 6-7 inches long.

We spent Saturday night and Sunday day looking for some quatlity stripers and all we came up with was a bunch of shakers and the 14 pounder below. She blasted a pearl colored Lunker Punker Jr at first light Sunday morning.

Got to be to be pretty windy saturday night so the water was pretty stained Sunday. All in all, a great trip with Pops.
